Dark Lady (album)


''Dark Lady'' is the 11th studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released in May 1974 by MCA. Cher again collaborated with Snuff Garrett as a record producer, and with Al Capps for the arrangements.
''Dark Lady'' was the third and final studio album for MCA. It was also the last record promoted on her successful ''The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour'' show. After its release, the album received positive reviews from critics but, unlike her previous record produced by Garrett, was only moderately successful.
== Album information ==
After the success of ''Half-Breed'', Cher, for her final record under MCA, again chose Snuff Garrett and Al Capps to produce. During that same year, she divorced her first husband Sonny Bono, dissolving the Sonny & Cher couple. This ended their professional musical ties and television show for a while.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cher LPs of the 1970s )〕 Due to the success of previous albums produced by Garrett, ''Dark Lady'' followed the same narrative ballad style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dark Lady Review )〕 She attracted many young fans during this period of her career for her style of glamour pop,〔 and the album shows also what Cher could do back in the mid-70s, at the height of her popularity.〔 ''Dark Lady'' was also the last studio album. MCA released ''Greatest Hits'' with the letter E accented in Chér on the album cover. The next albums released by Warner Bros completely remove the stress.
The opening track of the album is a song written by Alan O'Day "Train of Thought" that had moderate success on the pop charts. Three songs from the album were written by Johnny Durrill, and the last song "Apples Don't Fall Far From The Tree" was written by Bob Stone, who wrote her first success of the '70s, "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves". The album also contains two covers, ''The Great Gatsby'' theme song "What'll I Do" and the 1965 Fontella Bass hit song "Rescue Me". Cher also does a tribute to Bette Midler on the retro "Miss Subway of 1952".〔
''Dark Lady'' had received mixed reviews from music critics. Decades later, Peter Fawthrop of Allmusic gave it three stars and compared this album with the previous ''Half-Breed'' saying that is "more upbeat". He also said that "she was more wholesome and organic in the early '70s," and about the covers in the album "is always fun to hear Cher's renditions of the classics." ''Rolling Stone'' gave a positive review of the album, stating "this could finally be the LP that will establish Cher as a major album artist" and "she has put together a recognizable voice with fine songs, a set that flows throughout, and superb production." About Cher, said that "she is a personality as well as a singer, so display in rock, pop and on stepdowns."
In August 1993, the original album was combined with ''Half-Breed'' and issued on one CD titled ''Half Breed/Dark Lady'', this release included all the tracks from both original albums. A CD of the original ''Dark Lady'' album in its entirety has not yet been produced.
